“This one is really fun. It’s spicy and sweet, and not too much of either. Using green tea as the base helps with the flavor profile – I can taste both distinctly. I’m using this...”

From DAVIDsTEA

Ay carumba

Meet mango with an attitude: this sweet and spicy blend of green tea, mango and red hot chili threads is irresistibly refreshing on ice. Mango and chili might seem like an unusual combination, but you can actually find it in sauces, salsas and salads everywhere from Thailand to Mexico. If you’re feeling adventurous, it makes for a seriously sinful cocktail with a splash of tequila and lime: exotic and fruity with a dash of fire.

81 Tasting Notes

This tea was really disapointing to me. I love mango madness which is really fruity and tastes just like fresh mangoes but this was more like watery, spicy, mango juice. I’m glad I only got 10g because I will not be getting any more.

Mango and chilli. Didn’t expect to like this one, but surprise! It’s love. I expected something sweet with a hint of spice, but instead, I’m getting a whole bunch of heat with a mere hint of mango. This probably has something to do with steeping time, and the fact that I often will sit, staring at my infuser, thinking “More! Moooore! Must be stroooooooongerrrrrr!!”. I’ve heard that spices trigger your pain receptors, and pain stimulates your endorphins, so maybe there’s something to that here. Or maybe I’m just a masochist. Either way, yum.

Preparation

It’s an okay blend as far as this goes. You can taste the mango taste, and the chili. It is actually quite spicy when you steep it for a bit. I steeped it for like 30 minutes to experiment if the tea will end up spicy and I don’t taste any bitterness from the green tea from over steeping. The mango flavour kind of dulls out but is still present, and now the tea is spicy. It’s okay I guess, probably good if you’re stuffed up or something. I have not tried it with ice but I will eventually.

I had this tea iced at the store in Kitsilano, as recommended by staff there. The fact that it’s iced keeps it well balanced and from getting too spicy. It’s a nice mango green tea that’s clean and finishes with a subtle spicy kick.

Wow, DAVIDsTEA usually has really awesome blends, especially new ones. But this, the opposite. It’s terrible! There is barely any mango taste which is completely taken over by the chilli, this tea is so HOT! I don’t know if I just happened to get some with a lot of chillies but it is way to hot and it overpowers the mango….TERRIBLE! Don’t try unless you like El Diablo in your cup!!
